Featuring over forty black and white and color works spanning seven decades, the exhibition brings into view one of the most enduring and consequential bodies of work devoted to the African diaspora in contemporary photography. Across generations and continents, Higgins has undertaken a sustained visual reckoning with history, identity, and inheritance, creating a record that restores presence where it has been obscured and asserts dignity where it has been denied. His photographs stand as both witness and affirmation, reclaiming the cultural and spiritual depth of Black life within the broader narrative of modern history. Shared Memories gathers this lifelong commitment into a singular statement of continuity, collective memory, pride, and authority.
